@MostBlunted I had a little hope inside me for all these years that they secretly had co-op and it would be a major surprise at release. Now I'd be surprised if we get the gang mechanics (which they showed us 3-4 years ago, and somehow couldn't make work in that timeframe).
This might be harsh, but there's just no way 60+ people have worked seriously on this game for 8+ years. I have a feeling it's 5-10 people who's very talented but they've spent most of the time on combat/battles/engine and the rest have just been slacking interns. There was a glassdoor review saying people where doing sidejobs while in the office, I believe that to be the truth.
Yeah, there's no way. There's not enough material for a 60 man team, at least for full time dedication. There's really not any new big feature besides smithy, but that is not what I would call a big feature.
